[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2849765, member: 104268"] Remeasured the recoil lug hole, and the problem there is that it's slightly oblong (Savage OEM). The minimum diameter I found is actually 1.059, hence the failure to feed. Thought 0.002 should have allowed it to slide on, but wrote it off to sloppy measuring. From my googling, a Savage tenon should be 1.055" ([URL='https://preferredbarrelblanks.com/savage-prefit-replacement-barrels/']for example, Preferred Barrel Blanks[/URL]) so this one is definitely oversized. As were two previous ones I purchased a couple years back, which wouldn't take a different OEM recoil lug or a EABCO aftermarket one, and one of them wouldn't even thread into the nut/receiver. Have contacted manufacturer, and won't be doing any DIY fixes till that has gone it's course. The last time they fixed it in a relatively quick turn around. Regardless, back to my initial question. How much does a standard threading job knock off the OD of a tenon, or is it variable? EDIT TO ADD: I went ahead and bought another EABCO, which claims it will fit 1.060 tenon. I didn't get one initially, as they will not fit OEM Savage accustock inlet, and I had to modify the first one I purchased. Sorta forgot that this action is going into an XLR Element Mg, which has plenty of space for the oversize lug and tapered sides of the EABCO. Hopefully, this $40 saves a round trip to the mothership, and is also a nice improvement with the indexing screw and much better uniformity than OEM. [/QUOTE]
